The  Literature  of  Mountain  Climbing  in  America 

By  Allen  H.  Bext 

The  books  and  magazine  articles  upon  American  mountains, 
like  the  trails  thereof,  have  become  so  numerous  that  there  is 
perhaps  some  excuse  for  a  guide  to  thread  their  mazes.  Mine 
makes  no  pretention  to  completeness;  it  aims  simply  to  give 
a  helping  hand  to  those  who  have  started  on  the  upward 
path.  In  order  to  keep  it  within  reasonable  bounds  only 
books  and  papers  that  are  devoted  wholly  and  in  part  to  actual 
climbing  are  included.  Many  articles  have  strayed  into  un- 
expected   places.     For   example,    oik^    would    hardly   look   for

information  about  the  White  Mountains  in  a  San  Francisco 
magazine,  or  for  climbs  in  the  Sierra  Nevada  in  a  Honolulu 
monthlj^,  or  for  the  Atlirondacks  in  a  Swiss  mountaineering 
journal,  3'et  all  these  things  have  been  found  and  doubtless 
there  are  many  more  such  that  have  eluded  the  compiler's 
eye.  "^ 

The  beginnings  of  mountaineering  in  America  have  to  be 
looked  for  mainly  in  early  histories  and  narratives  of  travel, 
though  the  first  ascent  in  the  Canadian  Rockies  is  chronicled 
in  the  supplement  to  a  botanical  magazine.  The  first  maga- 
zine article  upon  American  mountains  seems  to  be  Jeremy 
Belknap's  account  of  the  White  Mountains,  printed  in  the 
American  Magazine  in  Philadelphia  in  February,  1788.  The 
first  book  was  Joel  T.  Headley's  The  Adirondack,  published 
in  1849.  The  Alpine  Journal  of  England,  the  earliest  of  such 
magazines,  had  a  short  account  of  a  climb  in  Central  America 
in  its  first  volume,  1864,  and  in  the  third  volume,  1867,  there 
was  an  account  of  an  ascent  of  Mt.  Hood.  The  first  book 
devoted  to  alpine  climbing  in  America  was  Clarence  King's 
Mountaineering  in  the  Sierra  Nevada. 

A'PPALACHIA  has  published  in  recent  years  articles  upon 
Early  Mountaineers  (May,  1913);  The  Indians  and  the  Moun- 
tains (June,  1915);  and  The  Mountaineering  Clubs  of  America 
(December,  1916).  These  collectively  form  a  sort  of  intro- 
duction to  the  mountains  of  America;  but,  as  all  were  written 
by  the  compiler  of  this  list,  perhaps  his  recommendation  is 
not  valid.  More  interesting  are  John  C.  Van  Dyke's  book 
The  Moimtain  (1916),  and  the  articles  on  "Famous  American 
Mountains,"  by  Henry  Gannett,  in  Everybody's  Magazine, 
May,  1902;  "Mountaineering  in  North  America,"  by  Robert 
Dunn,  in  Outing,  September,  1907;  "The  World's  Highest 
Altitudes  and  First  Ascents,"  by  Charles  E.  Fay,  in  the  Na- 
tional Geographic  Magazine,  June,  1909;  and  "The  Climbed 
and  Unclimbed  Peaks  of  the  Americas,"  by  Granville  For- 
tescue,  in  the  Bulletin  of  the  International  Bureau  of  the  Ameri- 
can Republics,  June,  1910.  Valuable  as  adjuncts  are  the 
Dictionary  of  Altitudes  prepared  by  the  U.  S.  Geological  Sur- 
vey in  1906;  the  booklet  upon  Equipment,  published  by  the 
Appalachian  Mountain  Club  in  1916;  and  the  maps  of  the 
U.  S.  Geological  Survey  and  Forest  Service  of  the  United

Of  first  importance  perhaps  are  the  journals  of  our  moun- 
taineering clubs,  which  accordingly  we  place  first  in  our  list. 
Then  follows  the  bibliography  of  peaks,  ranges  or  regions 
arranged  in  alphabetical  order,  the  individual  titles  being  so 
far  as  feasible  in  chronological  sequence.
